Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United are the first trio to be relegated from the Premier League at the same for the first time with three games still to play. Sheffield United enroute their relagation equalled the record for earliest Premier League relegation with six games to spare following their 1-0 defeat to Wolves on Saturday 17th of Apr 2021 before been joined by westbrom on 9th May of 2021 after falling to a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.
Fulham is the latest club to confirm their place in Championship for 2021-22 season after suffering a 0-2 defet by Burnley on Monday. They conceded the first goal in the match in the 35th minute and then conceded the second goal in the 44th minute which made it inevitable that the London side would play in the Championship next season alongside Sheffield United and West Brom.
Fulham went down after recording 27 points in 35 league games. They suffered 18 defeats and 12 draws. After the game, manager Parker shared his thoughts about 2020-21 season.
Scott said, “We’ve been in and around this situation for a while now, but that doesn’t hide the disappointment and the hurt I fell now. I’m gutted. This year, while we’ve had some improvements and pushed on in certain areas, we’ve fallen short. There’s been some positives but our goal was to stay in the league; we knew the challenge ahead but ultimately we’ve fallen short. This level is brutal”
Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic gives his brutal assessment on team’s performance. “We failed today, and we failed this season. It wasn’t good enough – we didn’t deserve it. I’ve played football long enough to know that at the end of the season, you finish where you deserve to be. I’m really sad for the fans, for the people in the club, it’s really tough. Tonight we didn’t show big character or big mentality, we cracked under the pressure and we weren’t good enough or brave enough”
Aside from Sheffield United, Fulham and West Bromwich Albion are the only team this season relegated from English Premier League after one season.
